Acapulco

It's nice to be able to say you're going to an exotic Mexican beach for a weekend getaway. Acapulco is more or less a five-hour drive from Puebla filled with beautiful mountain scenery. José Luis' parents share an apartment there with their best friends. Last week was José Luis' dad's birthday, so every year around this time they take a week's vacation to the beach. We only got to go for the weekend because José Luis had to work, but it was still nice and relaxing. We spent lots of time in the sand and sun and eating seafood. They have a maid that comes to cook for them when they stay in the apartment. There were so many American attractions there that I thought I was in the States for a while. The first beach we went to even had an American flag. Needless to say, this beach is one big, never-ending party, so we had lots of fun to go along with our relaxing. I hope I get to go back sometime for a longer stay and to see more attractions.
